Sketch for a Systematic Metaphysics by D M Armstrong
David Armstrong sets out his metaphysical system in a set of concise and lively chapters each dealing with one aspect of the world. He begins with the assumption that all that exists is the physical world of space-time. On this foundation he constructs a coherent metaphysical scheme that gives plausible answers to many of the great problems of metaphysics. He gives accounts of properties, relations, and particulars; laws of nature; modality; abstract objects such as numbers; and time and mind.
Review from previous edition a model of clarity and rich in ideas.. it is a pleasure, as always, to wrestle with the deep philosophical questions that Armstrong continues to present us with so vivaciously. * E. J. Lowe, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *
David Armstrong was Challis Professor of Philosophy at the University of Sydney until his retirement in 1992.
